I just stepped on the scale for the first time since I found out I was pregnant! I have gained 10 freaking pounds already and I am only 8 weeks! WTF! I am going to chalk a lot of that up to never eating right and never exercising, but that is about to seriously change now that I am not working and moved into this new house. I can cook more often and eat healthier, and exercise more because we have a HUGE walking track across the street. I just know I'm going to be the size of a small country when I am full term though. lol. :(
 
This is interesting, I just looked up weight gain in pregnancy and this is a chart I found.

Where the Weight Goes

7.5 - 8.5 lbs Baby
2 lbs Amniotic Fluid
1.5 - 2 lbs Placenta
1.5 - 2 lbs Breast Tissue
3 lbs Blood Volume
2 - 2.5 lbs Uterine Muscle
4 lbs Water
8 lbs Maternal Stores
 
everyone gains weight in a different weight. That weight chart isn't very accurate. Just remember all the weight that you do gain is for the baby! My sisters sister-in-law when pregnant with her twins didn't eat like she should b/c she didn't want to get fat..and ended up having them a couple months early...and they still look like cancer babies.
